Loop equations for multi - cut matrix models
The loop equation for the complex one-matrix model with a multi-cut structure is derived and solved in the planar limit. An iterative scheme for higher genus contributions to the free energy and the multi-loop correlators is presented for the two-cut model, where explicit results are given up to and including genus two. The double-scaling limit is analyzed and the relation to the one-cut soluti...
متن کاملThe uses of Whitham hierarchies
We review some of the uses of Whitham hierarchies in the context of the theory of the prepotential in N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories. We focus on the structure of the contact terms in the twisted topological theory, and on the connection between Whitham hierarchies and the u-plane integrals for higher rank gauge groups, trying to put together the different approaches involved in this conne...
متن کاملMatrix Models vs. Seiberg–witten/whitham Theories
We discuss the relation between matrix models and the Seiberg–Witten type (SW) theories, recently proposed by Dijkgraaf and Vafa. In particular, we prove that the partition function of the Hermitean one-matrix model in the planar (large N) limit coincides with the prepotential of the corresponding SW theory. This partition function is the logarithm of a Whitham τ-function. The corresponding Whi...
متن کاملLoop Equations and the Topological Phase of Multi - Cut Matrix Models
We study the double scaling limit of mKdV type, realized in the two-cut Hermitian matrix model. Building on the work of Periwal and Shevitz and of Nappi, we find an exact solution including all odd scaling operators, in terms of a hierarchy of flows of 2× 2 matrices. We derive from it loop equations which can be expressed as Virasoro constraints on the partition function. We discover a “pure to...
متن کاملBreakdown of universality in multi - cut matrix models
We solve the puzzle raised by Brézin and Deo for random N × N matrices with a disconnected eigenvalues support: their calculation by orthogonal polynomials disagrees with previous mean field calculations. We show that this difference does not stem from a Z 2 symmetry breaking, but from the discretizeness of the number of eigenvalues. This leads to additional terms (quasiperiodic in N) which mus...
